Baggage

For safety reasons and because of weight restrictions, baggage in charter aircraft is restricted to a maximum of 15kgs (44 lbs) per person in a soft bag. This includes camera equipment and hand luggage. Should guests arrive with excess baggage without prior warning, their baggage could be delayed, as we may have to fly the baggage into camps at a later stage at considerable extra cost to you.

General

The final quotation is subject to the itinerary agreed upon. Should increases be forced on us by airlines, exchange rates, weather, fuel prices, etc., we reserve the right to surcharge without notice. The company reserves the right and in fact, is obliged to occasionally change routes and camps on safaris as dictated by changing conditions. Such conditions may be brought about by seasonal rainfall on bush tracks, airfields and in-game areas, by game migrations from one region to another, or airline or other booking problems, etc. Should exceptional circumstances arise, Gemuka Adventures reserves the right to alter its quotation.
